Since the capture media is no longer working for capturing Windows 8.1 images,

Since Copy Profile doesn't work when you use the sccm capture media to capture a Windows 8.1 image
This is how I been capturing my Windows 8.1 image.
1. Manually sealing the image. Logged in as Administrator, I run, C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:"C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep64-81-std.xml" this points to my answer file which contains copy
profile=true. Once Windows is shutdown, I boot directly to PXE, using a TS of the method found in the link below.
2. I then use this method to capture the image directly to a wim file. http://blog.coretech.dk/mip/capture-none-syspreped-image-using-sccm-running-imagex-from-a-ts/
I'd like to hear how others are capturing there Windows 8.1 images, because I am always looking for a better method.

  • Since the iTunes update, it no longer works for transfering pics or books to my ipad.

    Hi there!
    Just want to transfer an album of photos from iPhotos on my five year old Macbook to my iPad or iPod. It used to be easy!
    Instructions say to click on the "photos" icon in iTunes after connecting the iPad to the computer. All I see are the icons for the apps that have been loaded onto the iPad. No "photos" icon. The old iTunes worked well for transfering books and pics from a Macbook to an iPad. The new iTunes doesn't seem to have any functionality, other than backing up downloaded apps.
    Wish iTunes had a printed tutorial! Maybe they do? All I see is a video.
    Thanks, anyone!

    The Photo tab  .. when you click on your device, in the sidebar, should look like this....

  • Since the update my password no longer works only on apple tv

    Since the update my password no longer works  on apple tv

    Cute.  I redid my apple password last nite and made it real simple.  It worked fine signing in to the forum just now.  When I use it to sign in on Apple TV  I keep getting message.  ' server not available'. I had gotten it to sign in earlier but netflix wouldn't play the movie.  Just the previews.   So I reset everything and tried to start over and I can't log on at all.  So if you have any helpful suggestions I would be interested in hearing them. Thank you

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 11.01 the "Smart" playlists feature no longer works.
    I can CREATE the list but, the songs that I have played don't accumulate in the list.
    I haven't changed the steps that worked for me previous to the upgrade.
    I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

  • My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1

    My firefox updated this morning. Since the update I can no longer post to facebook. Any thoughts? Other browsers work. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.1. All was working fine yesterday.

    BTW, I can read everything just fine, but when enter information to post and press the post button, nothing happens. I have another computer running Win XP and firefox 8.x and all is fine.

  • Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work as they did before.

    Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work. I used to press just the F12 key and I would be able to raise the volume, now it switches to the home page. I want the old shortcuts back and I don't know how to do that. Please help.

    Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro
    updated from what to what?
    Suggest you try a NVRAM / PRAM reset, as described by Apple:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    I installed IOUSB family log release osx 10.5.6 on my mac osx 10.5.8. I am trying to log an rfid reader on the usb. Sadly on restart the usb is no longer working. Happily Windows is still running OK. Is there a way to get my usb back working? And is there a way to navigate in Windows to the file I installed and remove it? Any help appreciated.

    Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

  • After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works.  Solution?

    After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works.  Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard.  Reset SMU to no avail.  Any solutions?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help with this.
    Yes to both questions: iMovie is in the Applications folder, not in any subfolders. And I have reinstalled iMove from the original disc (before and after the OS reinstall) but can only get up to 7.1.4 without buying a later edition of iLife.
    The camera definitely worked under Snow Leopard but not since I upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion.
    Found the following on this forum:
    If you have iLife '09 or older, there have been no iPhoto 8, iMovie 8 or
    Garageband 5 (or older) updates relating to Lion or Mountain Lion. The
    support and compatibility situations for those versions is unknown as
    Apple hasn't said anything. We can only determine compatibility
    anecdotally. If it turns out that there is a problem and Apple doesn't
    release an update, your only recourse is to buy the latest version of
    the application.
    I reinstalled some other iLife apps as well. iDVD went missing after the ML reinstall. When I reinstalled it from the original disc, it wouldn't open and I had to download a manual update to get it working. iWeb previously stopped working after the upgrade to ML (all the menu options were greyed out) but when I reistalled it (together with iMove and iDVD) yesterday, it started working again.
    All this seems to point to a compatibilty issue between iLife '08 and ML.

  • Since upgrading to Tiger Stuffit no longer works.

    Since upgrading to Tiger, Stuffit no longer works. I cannot send an email with file compression selected, because it gives me an error message: The action could not be completed, an unknown internal program error has occurred.
    I had been using version 9, but on the advice of Allume tech support, I uninstalled it, downloaded and installed Stuffit Deluxe 10.0.1. Twice. There are no error messages, as the program simply does not open. It is available in the dock, when I double click it, it will bounce once or twice and appear to be opening, and then stop bouncing. If I drag a file onto the icon, it bounces twice and then stops, no compressed file is created. If I go directly to the application folder and open the application, it looks like it will open, it places an icon in the doc for a split second, and then it goes away. Stuffit Expander, however, works fine.
    Allume has stopped answering my inquiries because they can't figure out what's going on. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Prior to ugrading to Tiger did you repair your hard drive and permissions? Did you do a true Upgrade install or an Archive and Install? If you did an Upgrade install what version of OS X did you upgrade? If you did an Archive and Install, then try reinstalling Stuffit.
    To repair the hard drive and permissions do the following:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi.  How do I get iTunes to work again?

    Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message:  A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I deauthorize a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

    How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

    You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
    Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.
